How Lava Reacts To Crystals, Water, Ice, And Metal | Science Skills

Adding relatively minor factors like crystals, water, ice, and metal can drastically affect how lava moves, cools, and creates formations. When lava meets water, for example, the results can be explosive. Understanding these interactions is vital for keeping communities who reside in hazardous zones - like the volcanic and oceanic Hawaii - safe from lava flows. Plus, it can tell us about how volcanoes might work on other planetary bodies. Here's how lava reacts to four different environmental factors.

Lava plus water equals obsidian

Fact

real and true

Water plus lava equals cobblestone

Minecraft logic XD

Why does lava always looks so fun to touch and play with even jump into it

[@lindaedvardsson4218]

Yeah.. just like fluffy clouds..🤤.

[@evilsharkey8954]

It looks gooey. Don’t worry, though. Actual lava lets you know from a good distance away that you shouldn’t do that. It puts out a lot of heat, great for warming your bum on a cold night.

[@evilsharkey8954]

If it wasn’t so hot, it would be really fun to walk on (with shoes) because it’s so dense that we could float on top of it very easily. It still gets a hard, scratchy surface, though, so it wouldn’t be good to walk on barefoot, even if you were fireproof.

The fact that volcanos are real absolutely blows my mind.

[@foreign_cow_2541]

Love how they fell in water and becomes rock or something

[@nocomprendo1409]

My dad used to work at a smelting facility, and when the furnace began to fail, people ran away from the melting metal.

Buzzfeed unsolved just ended, I'm not ready to hear the song in other videos 😭

I stand back when I'm cooking and the oil starts splashing and dude is standing there poking lava with what's probably an oversized thermometer probe 😅

Lava looks so satisfying

Nice introduction, currently doing research on the topic of lava dome formation. Would love to know the source about the connection between crystal formation temperature and time at the surface of the flow.

You're correct - I thought that was weird too.

Congratulations on attempting and succeeding at pronouncing the 2010 Iceland Volcano.

"Area of multiple football fields"
Understood.

[@shoulderdestroyer6124]

I wonder how lava move in space

[@evilsharkey8954]

It would form into spheres because of surface tension.

Lava + Water = Obsidian
